GRANIT CONSERVATION/PUBLIC LANDS LAYER

GRANIT CONSERVATION/PUBLIC LANDS LAYER POLYGON CODING STANDARDS Revisions: December 2007 February 2009 September 2009 May 2011 May 2016 February 2017 December 2018 The following is a listing of the field names that are used in the polygon feature class, the properties of those fields, and where applicable, a listing of acceptable values for the fields. 1. TID - Tract Identifier (Text, Length 13): (Characters 11-13 will be blank for older tracts.) Characters 1-3 Character 4 Characters 5-7 Characters 8-9 Character 10 Characters 11-13 3-digit GRANIT Quad ID Hyphen 3-digit Parcel ID (sequentially assigned) Reserved for retention of legacy alphanumeric designations. Should not be populated for any new tracts. Hyphen 3-digit Tract ID (sequentially assigned) * Note: For tracts that were added to this data set prior to the use of the TID (legacy tracts), the last three digits of the TID are entered as 000. Over time, these may be populated sequentially (001, 002, etc.) if resources provide opportunity for research into older documents. 2. NAME - Tract Name (Text, Length 42): (enter in upper/lower case) The tract name as known by the primary protecting entity. May only be changed by written request of that entity. 3. NAMEALT - Alternate Tract Name (Text, Length 42): (enter in upper/lower case) The tract name as originally reported during data collection/automation, if different from NAME. 4. P_NAME - Parcel Name (Text, Length 42): (enter in upper/lower case) The parcel name as known by protecting entity. 5. P_NAMEALT - Alternate Parcel Name (Text, Length 42): (enter in upper/lower case) The parcel name as originally reported during data collection/automation, if different from P_NAME.

6. PPTYPE - Primary Protection Type (Text, Length 2): (enter in upper case) The Primary Protection Type is intended to indicate the strongest form of legal protection from development for the parcel. The PPAgency field (see below) indicates the entity that enforces the PPType. When more than one Protection Type is in place for a parcel, it can be difficult to determine which protection type is primary. Generally, the PPType and PPAgency should indicate the entity and legal mechanism that are most directly responsible for management and protection of the parcel. AR Agricultural Preservation Restriction * CE Conservation Easement * DR Deed Restriction * FE Flowage Rights or Easement (formerly FL) * FO Fee Ownership (formerly FR) HP Historic Preservation Easement LE Longterm Lease PE Protective Easement (for Water Supply Lands) RV Reverter RW Right of Way SA "Set Aside" Open Space Areas of Developments * SE Scenic Easement * Land protected by these methods is typically private property and is not open for public access. Terms of these conservation restrictions vary considerably; consult deeds for specifics. 7. PPTERMTYPE - Term of Protection (Text, Length 1): joining within a GIS environment. P L U Perpetual Limited term Unknown 8. PPTERM - Length of Limited Protection Term (Short Integer): -98 N/A - term is perpetual -99 Unknown nn Length in years of limited term

9-10. SPTYPE1, SPTYPE2 - Secondary Protection Types 1 and 2 (Text, Length 2): (enter in upper case) Secondary Protection Types identify additional forms of protection applied to a parcel that already has a primary protection method. These include the protection types listed below in addition to all primary protection types previously listed. EI LE Executory Interest Lease 11. PPAGENCY - Primary Protecting Agency/Organization (Long Integer): The agency or organization responsible for protection of the parcel from development. When more than one agency/organization is involved, the distinction between primary and secondary protecting agency/organization is sometimes unclear. In general, the primary protecting entity actively manages the property and may or may not own the property. The user should contact the agency if additional property information is required.

LEVEL - Protection Level (Text, Length 2): 1 Permanent conservation land. Land permanently protected from development through legally enforceable conservation easement, deed restriction, or outright ownership by an organization or agency whose mission emphasizes protecting land in perpetuity; more than 50% of area will remain undeveloped. Examples include, but are not limited to, federal and state natural resource agency lands; tracts owned by land trusts; town lands or town forest formally assigned to the Conservation Commission through a warrant article; and lands encumbered by a perpetual conservation easement. 2 Unofficial conservation land. Not permanently protected through any legal mechanisms such as deed restrictions or conservation easements. Owned by a public institution, public agency, or other organization whose mission may not be focused on conservation, but whose clear intent is to keep the land for conservation, recreation, or educational purposes and in mostly natural land cover. Examples include, but are not limited to, lands with mostly natural land cover owned by academic institutions; town lands not permanently protected through legal mechanisms; and unprotected county farms. 3 Unprotected water supply land. Not permanently protected through any legal mechanisms such as deed restrictions or conservation easements. Land owned or controlled by suppliers of public drinking water. Includes all unprotected supplies owned by a municipality or a subdivision of a municipality, and all unprotected private water systems which serve 500 people or more. 4 Developed public land. No known institutional or legal mandates to prevent conversion of natural land cover to human uses. Includes public land having, or expected to have, developed infrastructure on more than 50% of its area (e.g. beaches, picnic areas, ball fields, boat ramps/parking, municipal wellfields). 9 Unknown 21. MSTATUS - Management Status (Short Integer):

1 A tract entirely protected from conversion of natural land cover and with a management plan or deed restrictions in operation to maintain land in a natural state. Natural processes and disturbance events are allowed to proceed without interference or are mimicked through management practices. 2 A tract entirely protected from conversion of natural land cover and with a management plan or deed restrictions in operation to maintain a primarily natural state, but which may receive uses (e.g. limited vehicular traffic, small-scale wildlife habitat management, etc.) or management practices, including suppression of natural processes and disturbances, that can degrade the quality of existing natural communities. 3 A tract protected from conversion of natural cover for more than 50% of area, but subject to extractive uses of either a broad-scale low-moderate intensity type (such as timber harvest) or localized-scale high intensity type (e.g., mining). 4 A tract with more than 50% of area unprotected from conversion of natural cover or planned or in use for agriculture or for active recreation purposes (e.g. ball fields, golf courses). Natural processes are altered or replaced by human use and management of land. 9 Unknown 22. SOURCE (Text, Length 25): (enter in upper case) The source of information used for mapping the tract. While individual tract boundaries may be mapped from different sources as captured in the line coding (e.g. in the AAT SOURCE field), this field reports the initial source used to map the tract. This data is used to establish the ACCURACY rating. 23. ACCURACY (Short Integer): This code is used to indicate the accuracy of the parcel boundary mapping. 1 Very good. Mapped from a survey which aligned well with existing information. 2 Good. Mapped from a good quality tax map or from a survey which did not completely align with existing information. 3 Fair. Mapped from poor tax map, survey, or other source. Some lines are questionable. 4 Poor. Mapped from a source which had obvious problems with spatial accuracy. Location and/or configuration are approximate only. 5 Unknown location and configuration. General area may be known. (Used only for saltmarsh lots.) 24. COBKPG - County, Book and Page (Text, Length 40): The County Registry of Deeds book and page reference number of legal transaction record. Deeds are often the source of information about the nature of restrictions on restricted properties. Space is provided for multiple deeds/instruments.

While the field is defined as a long character, the format of data entries is as follows: For first entry: Part 1: 2 digit county FIPS code Part 2: / Part 3: 3-4 digit book number Part 4: / Part 5: 3-4 digit page number If there are multiple entries, the second (and subsequent) references are entered in the same format as above, separated by a blank space, +, and another blank space: (ex. 01/1234/011 + 01/1234/012) 25. DATEREC1 (Text, Length 8): (enter as yyyymmdd) The date of record for the first conservation transaction 26. DATEREC2 (Text, Length 8): (enter as yyyymmdd) The date of record for the second conservation transaction If there are more than two transactions associated with the tract, the remaining dates of record are entered in the NOTES fields. 27. ACCESS - Level of Public Access (Short Integer): 1 Allowed (Minor use restrictions may apply, such as fees charged, vehicular access, etc.) 2 Restricted to Certain Areas (Access restricted to specific areas or times, or member/ resident use only.) 3 Not allowed 4 Unknown 5 No response to access survey received 28. DATEADDED (Text, Length 8): (enter as yyyymmdd) The date the record (spatial/attribute) was added to the database. While any or all of a tract's boundaries may be replaced over time, this field will still reflect the date the original tract polygon was created and the attributes were added. 29. DATEALTER (Text, Length 8): (enter as yyyymmdd) The date of the latest revision of any of the tract boundaries or attributes.

30. NOTES1, NOTES2, NOTES3, NOTES4 (Text, Length 80): (enter in upper case) These fields may be used to record additional notes. 31. PID - Parcel Identifier (Text, Length 10): This is a truncated version of the TID (item 1) that can be used to identify a parcels as a whole, including all its component tracts. Characters 1-3 Character 4 Characters 5-7 Characters 8-9 Character 10 3-digit GRANIT Quad ID Hyphen 3-digit Parcel ID (sequentially assigned) Reserved for retention of legacy alphanumeric designations. Should not be populated for any new tracts. Hyphen 32. GAP_STATUS (Text, Length 2) GAP Status is an indicator of the intensity of tract management. It will be assigned by GRANIT based on the values provided for Level of Protection and Management Status. 1 GAP 1 - Permanent, legal protection. Managed to maintain a natural state. No motorized recreation, natural processes are unhindered, and no extractive uses. Examples include federal wilderness areas, most Nature Conservancy Preserves, SPNHF Natural Areas, and forever wild easements. 2 GAP2 - Permanent, legal protection. Managed to maintain a primarily natural state. Limited snowmobiling allowed, natural processes are mostly unhindered, and no widespread extractive uses. Examples include NH Audubon Sanctuary with snowmobile trail, and most U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Refuges. 3 GAP3 - Permanent, legal protection. Managed to maintain natural land cover, allows extractive uses of renewable resources (e.g. timber harvesting), and allows higher intensity or density of recreational uses. Examples include most conservation easements in New Hampshire, majority of SPNHF Reservation lands, and some town forests. 3A GAP3A - No legal protection, but current ownership has institutional mandates or intention to manage for natural land cover. Examples include many town forests, water supply lands, Phillips Exeter Academy lands, and many UNH lands. 4 GAP4 No legal protection. Allows conversion of >50% of property to unnatural land cover. Examples include small town parks and many other town or countyowned open lands. 9 Unknown
